Strickly a metaphor.  Dropping the tension and dressing the bar is usually a
half days work. In most cases, to do only one one two notes, tends to make the
others sound out of kelter. 
If you are talking about a new piano, a different story, the noise is probably
a fault with a poorly dressed bar.  If the piano has a lot of noise in this
area, I also recommend restringing the treble section, 
Having said this, if the customer expects to be paying for a tuning, and they
are hit with 1/2 a days labour, in most cases they will rechedule or do
nothing.

A dab of glue will only take 1min tops, I would not charge the client, and it
makes the tuning easier.

I see, you use the same technique.
